For the fourth year running, the European Team Racing Championships for Techno 293 and Olympic Class RS:X will form part of the famous annual festival of music & sport - World Festival on the Beach, organised by Albaria Club - from 13th to 19th May in Mondello, Sicily.

Entry is limited to 16 teams per class with no more than 2 teams from each class per country. Each team consists of three competitors, from the same country. The Techno teams must include at least one boy and one girl, RS:X is slightly different in that each team must have two men and one woman, although the reserve may be male or female.

Team leaders/coaches also need to contact the club directly to register themselves and also if they wish to charter a support boat.

On Wednesday and Thursday, 15th and 16th, teams race in one or more round robin. The top 4 teams on the scoring ladder go through to the semi finals from where the two winning teams compete in the final on Friday 17th May. The best of 3 races will decide the winners.

Team members will automatically be entered, at no extra cost, into the Sicily Grand Prix where the format is fleet racing. This starts on the Friday afternoon, continuing through Saturday and Sunday.
